The 2012–13 season was Valencia Club de Fútbol's 95th in existence and the club's 26th consecutive season in the top flight of Spanish football. The season marked the managerial debut of Mauricio Pellegrino. Pellegrino assumed management of the club after the four-year tenure of Unai Emery in charge of the team, he was sacked on 1 December, later replaced by Ernesto Valverde. Manuel Llorente resigned after almost four years as Valencia president on 5 April 2013.[7]

Rules for classification:
1st points; 2nd head-to-head points; 3rd head-to-head goal difference; 4th goal difference; 5th number of goals scored; 7th Fair-play points
1 Since the 2012–13 Copa del Rey champions, Atlético Madrid and runners-up Real Madrid qualified to 2013–14 UEFA Champions League, the 5th-placed team will qualify for the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League group stage. So, the 6th- will qualify for the play-off round and the 7th- for the third qualifying round.[13]
2 Málaga was excluded from participating in any UEFA club competition in 2013–14 season.[14] Málaga appealed against this UEFA ban, but the Court of Arbitration for Sport confirmed the decision of the UEFA Club Financial Control Body.[15]
3 Rayo Vallecano was excluded from participating in any UEFA club competition for the next season after RFEF denied them a "UEFA license" because they didn't meet the requirements as they were immersed in a creditor contest.[16][17] They appealed to CAS in June 2013 and on 11 July that decision was confirmed.[18]
(C) = Champion; (R) = Relegated; (P) = Promoted; (E) = Eliminated; (O) = Play-off winner; (A) = Advances to a further round.
Only applicable when the season is not finished:
(Q) = Qualified to the phase of tournament indicated; (TQ) = Qualified to tournament, but not yet to the particular phase indicated; (RQ) = Qualified to the relegation tournament indicated; (DQ) = Disqualified from tournament.
